      Background:
      Alectinib, a CNS-active and highly selective ALK inhibitor, has efficacy in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC with and without previous crizotinib treatment. Updated efficacy and safety from the alectinib phase 2 North American NP28761 study (NCT01871805) of patients with ALK-positive NSCLC previously treated with crizotinib, with 15 months’ additional follow-up from the primary analysis and 9 months’ additional follow-up from the previous analysis are presented.

      Methods:
      Patients ≥18 years old with ALK-positive NSCLC (FDA-approved FISH test), disease progression following crizotinib, and ECOG PS ≤2 were enrolled. Patients received oral alectinib (600mg) twice daily until progression, death or withdrawal. Primary endpoint: overall response rate (ORR) by independent review committee (IRC; RECIST v1.1.) Secondary endpoints: investigator-assessed ORR; progression-free survival (PFS); overall survival (OS), CNS ORR (CORR); disease control rate (DCR); safety.

      Results:
      At the updated cut-off (22 January 2016) an additional 15 months' follow-up from the primary analysis, 87 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up: 17.0 months (range 1.1–28.6). ORR in the response evaluable population (REP; n=67) by IRC: 52.2% (95% CI 39.7–64.6), median duration of response: 14.9 months. Median PFS and OS: 8.0 and 22.7 months, respectively. Table 1 presents other efficacy endpoints. Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 41% of the safety population (n=87); most common: elevated levels of blood creatine phosphokinase (8%), alanine aminotransferase (6%), aspartate aminotransferase (5%). Two patients withdrew due to AEs; 28% had AEs leading to dose modification/interruption. Mean dose intensity was 92.0%.

      Conclusion:
      Alectinib demonstrated durable responses, encouraging OS findings, good tolerability and an acceptable safety profile consistent with previous reports in this update of the NP28761 study with extended follow-up.

      OA08.06 - Brigatinib Activity in Patients with ALK+ NSCLC and Intracranial CNS Metastases in Two Clinical Trials (ID 4374)

      16:00 - 17:30  |  Author(s): H. West

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Patients treated with crizotinib often experience disease progression in the brain. Brigatinib, an investigational next-generation ALK inhibitor, is being evaluated in an ongoing phase 1/2 trial (Ph1/2) and an ongoing pivotal phase 2 trial (ALTA).

      Methods:
      In Ph1/2, patients with advanced malignancies, including ALK+ NSCLC, received 30–300 mg brigatinib per day. In ALTA, patients with crizotinib-resistant advanced ALK+ NSCLC received 90 mg qd (arm A) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B). Efficacy (in both trials) and safety (in ALTA) are reported for ALK+ NSCLC patients with brain metastases at baseline.

      Results:
      In Ph1/2 and ALTA, 50/79 (63%; IRC-assessed) and 154/222 (69%; investigator-assessed) of ALK+ NSCLC patients, respectively, had baseline brain metastases. In Ph1/2 (n=50), median age was 53 years, 76% received prior chemotherapy, and 8% were crizotinib-naive. In ALTA (n=154), median age was 52 years; 75% received prior chemotherapy. As of November 16, 2015, 25/50 (50%) patients were receiving brigatinib in Ph1/2; as of February 29, 2016, 101/154 (66%) patients were receiving brigatinib in ALTA. For patients with measurable lesions, confirmed iORR was 53% in Ph1/2 and 42%/67% in ALTA A/B (Table). Among patients with only nonmeasurable lesions (Ph1/2, n=31; ALTA A/B, n=54/n=55), 35% had confirmed complete resolution of lesions in Ph1/2; 7%/18% had confirmed complete resolution in ALTA A/B. For all evaluable patients with baseline brain metastases, median intracranial PFS was 15.6 months in Ph1/2 (n=46) and 15.6/12.8 months in ALTA A/B (n=80/n=73). Most common treatment-emergent adverse events in ALTA in patients with baseline brain metastases (n=151 treated): nausea (A/B, 32%/43%), headache (30%/30%), diarrhea (18%/36%), cough (21%/30%), vomiting (25%/26%); grade ≥3 (excluding neoplasm progression): increased blood CPK (1%/11%), hypertension (4%/7%), increased lipase (3%/3%), pneumonia (1%/4%).

      Conclusion:
      Brigatinib has demonstrated substantial clinical activity in ALK+ NSCLC patients with brain metastases in both Ph1/2 and ALTA.

      P2.03a-040 - Safety and Efficacy of Nab-Paclitaxel for 2nd Line Treatment of Elderly Patients with Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 4209)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): H. West

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Retrospective analyses suggest benefit to 2[nd] line therapy in the fit elderly, but prospective data are lacking. Subgroup analysis of a phase III study of carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel for 1[st] line treatment of NSCLC showed superior survival in elderly patients.

      Methods:
      This is a phase II study for patients > 70 years of age with progression on a non-taxane 1[st] line doublet. Nab-paclitaxel 100mg/m[2] is administered intravenously, 3/4 weeks per cycle until progressive disease or intolerance. The primary endpoint is occurrence of ≥grade 3 treatment-related toxicities after 6 cycles or within 3 weeks if early treatment discontinuation occurred. Null hypothesis is a rate of 60% and alternative hypothesis is < 40%.

      Results:
      As of June 2016, 35/42 patients started treatment, and 31 completed. Median age is 75 (range 70 to 83). 51.4% are female. 8.6% have PS0, 68.6% PS1 and 22.9% PS2. 82.9% have adenocarcinoma, 14.3% SqCC, and 2.9% adenosquamous. 5.7% had EGFR, 28.6% kRAS. 33 patients had one prior treatment and 2 also received nivolumab. Of the 31 patients off treatment, median cycles received was 3 (range 1-22). 11/30 (37%) experienced the primary endpoint. When expanded to >=grade 3 toxicity at any time, this rose to 43% (13/30). The most common ≥G3 toxicities at any time point were fatigue (6/30), peripheral sensory neuropathy (4/30) and neutropenia (3/30). RR was 21% (1CR, 5PR, 16SD and 7PD of 29 patients evaluable). With a median FU of ongoing survivors (n=9) of 7.8 months, median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.2 months and median overall survival (OS) was 10.1 months. Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      These results demonstrate efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel for the 2[nd] line treatment of NSCLC in elderly patients and provide prospective data to support the treatment of fit elderly in 2[nd] line. Updated PFS, OS, geriatric assessment and quality of life data will be presented.

      P3.02a-013 - Brigatinib in Crizotinib-Refractory ALK+ NSCLC: Central Assessment and Updates from ALTA, a Pivotal Randomized Phase 2 Trial (ID 4046)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): H. West

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Brigatinib, an investigational next-generation ALK inhibitor, has yielded promising activity in crizotinib-treated ALK+ NSCLC patients in a phase 1/2 trial (NCT01449461). As responses and adverse events (AEs) varied with starting dose, two brigatinib regimens are under evaluation in ALTA (NCT02094573).

      Methods:
      Patients with crizotinib-refractory advanced ALK+ NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive brigatinib at 90 mg qd (arm A) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B) and stratified by presence of brain metastases at baseline and best response to prior crizotinib. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed confirmed ORR per RECIST v1.1.

      Results:
      222 patients were enrolled (arm A, n=112/arm B, n=110). Median age (A/B) was 51/57 years, 55%/58% were female, 74%/74% previously received chemotherapy, and 71%/67% had brain metastases. As of February 29, 2016, 64/112 (57%) patients in arm A and 76/110 (69%) patients in arm B were receiving brigatinib; median follow-up was 7.8/8.3 months. The Table shows investigator-assessed endpoints by arm and subgroup for select baseline characteristics. Independent review committee–assessed endpoints (A/B, n=112/n=110; as of May 16, 2016): confirmed ORR 48%/53%, median PFS 9.2/15.6 months. Any-grade treatment-emergent AEs (≥25% overall frequency; A/B, n=109/n=110 treated): nausea (33%/40%), diarrhea (19%/38%), headache (28%/27%), cough (18%/34%); grade ≥3 events (excluding neoplasm progression; ≥3% frequency): hypertension (6%/6%), increased blood CPK (3%/9%), pneumonia (3%/5%), increased lipase (4%/3%). A subset of pulmonary AEs with early onset (median onset: Day 2) occurred in 14/219 (6%) treated patients (3%, grade ≥3); 7/14 patients were successfully retreated. No such events occurred after escalation to 180 mg in arm B.

      Conclusion:
      In each arm, brigatinib yielded substantial responses and prolonged PFS, with an acceptable safety profile. 180 mg with 90 mg lead-in was not associated with increased early pulmonary events and showed a consistent improvement in efficacy, compared with 90 mg, particularly with respect to PFS.
